FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While inspired by athletic design, the Mexico 66 is primarily a lifestyle sneaker and not intended for long-distance or high-impact running.
How do I determine my size?
The trainers use UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the standard UK size chart.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in construction. Always spot clean by hand.
Are they waterproof?
The leather upper is water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging them in puddles or wearing them in heavy rain.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, natural leather will soften and slightly conform to your foot shape after a short break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Gently clean with a dedicated leather cleaner and apply a matching leather conditioner to restore the finish.
Soles feeling slippery on smooth indoor surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and grit, which restores grip.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace with standard flat cotton laces of the appropriate length to maintain the clean, classic look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers involves proper sizing and routine maintenance:
- Sizing: These shoes are sized in UK adult standards; ensure you verify your fit as the construction is naturally slim.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains on the leather, use a professional leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel moisture and light staining before your first wear.
